My friend and I went out to a secret location, which I later realized would make the perfect spot for a secret car meet, to test out his new Canon 6D in night conditions. Me with my crustacean period D200 tried to compete keep up. For example, my shot:

That was at f2.2, 5seconds, 100ISO..

His shot. He was at an ISO my camera didnt even have, and at a shutter speed of 1/80 or more, at f1.4.

The biggest thing here is the lens. His canon 1.4 is just incredible. The lens produces images beyond comparison to my 1.8 nikon. All i know is Canon will most likely be my next ship. Also have to keep in mind, that both of our lenses were 50mm primes, mine is a crop so its like 75. His has a tiny teeny crop to like 53mm...

Its really hard to compensate for the terrible yellow street lights. Makes the night shooting terrible.
